it's a metaphor
And I’m not the crocodile.
So, I have a big project that’s just eating me alive. I want to share! But it feels a bit too soon. Soon, however! Soon I will share!
May is a transitional month. We’re done with the “school” year, yet summer’s not here yet ... we seem to wander outside at least every other hour, and yes, we’re working in the garden, but we’re also doing a lot of holding the porch steps down with our back ends. And drinking lemonade. Summer’s not here yet, but we’ve already had gallons of lemonade.
We are working on projects — lots of projects! But, alas, we are not finishing projects — not any projects.
There are road trips being planned — I can tell, because there are maps and atlases and guide books strewn around. But no one’s gone anywhere further than the corner, for an ice cream cone. (Summer’s not here — but ice cream is.)
Too much going on right now, yet can’t find anything completed and ready to share. Sigh. Ah well, soon things will settle down. We’ll get used to the warm afternoons and the bright blue sky, the flowers and the birds, and we’ll get back to work. Soon.
